In the Nordic countries, manufacturing plays a vital socio-economic role by contributing to employment and the economy at large. The key prerequisites are a high productivity and a strong competitive edge. One of the ways to obtain and maintain a competitive edge is if (small and medium-sized) companies apply new knowledge and new technologies. To support the use of new technologies by companies, easy access to testing of new products and technologies is a decisive factor for the companies to gain knowledge of and inspiration for the use of the new technologies in their current business. This report presents a mapping of test and demonstration facilities in the Nordic countries, including ten good practice examples of such facilities as well as political initiatives in the Nordic countries, including specific strategies for setting up and structuring test and demonstration facilities
This book provides a comprehensive analysis of public administration in Finland. Many of the basic structures of Finnish public administration have remained intact during the country’s relatively short independence of 100 years, but Finland has been able to tackle major turbulence ranging from wars and financial crises to the Covid-19 pandemic. Finland has also had to adjust to greater European integration, a new constitution, an ageing population, increased globalization of markets, and climate change. Chapters in this volume examine a wide range of themes pertinent to Finnish public administration, including government, regionalisation, health care policy, performance management, budgeting, and higher education policy. Placing these themes within the wider context of Nordic administrative developments, the book showcases public administration in Finland as pragmatism in action. It will appeal to students and scholars of public administration, public management, public policy and Nordic studies.
Teatteripäiväkirja on itsenäistä jatkoa Pertti Julkusen Kirjastopäiväkirjalle (ntamo 2013). Tekijä kertoo teatterikokemuksistaan ja keskustelee julkisuuden ja teatterin filosofiasta, journalismista ja politiikasta – ja edelleen myös edellisen teoksen huolenaiheestaan, kirjastojen kohtalosta. Keskeisinä syväteemoina ovat empatia ja ideologia. Teatteri hahmottuu paikkana, jossa yhteiskuntaa katsotaan ”ulkopuolelta”, mutta joka myös rinnastuu moniin sen ”esityksellisiin” rakenteisiin. ”Teatterin poliittisuus ei ole niissä aiheissa, joita se valitsee, eikä varsinkaan niissä tiedoissa, joita se mahdollisesti välittää. Poliittisuus on näyttelijässä ja näyttämössä. Se on siinä tavassa, jolla näyttelijät astuvat yleisön ja yleisön kautta koko sen yhteiskunnan eteen, josta he ovat esityksen ajaksi karanneet pois.” ”(...) sanomalehden numero on näyttämöteos, (...) toimittajalla on oltava oma mielensisäinen journalistinen näyttämö (...)”

Finnish Lapland is a historical borderland of Finnish and Sámi cultures. Such a region offers various social-political identifications for people to choose: people may see it possible to identify as Finnish, Laplanders, Lappish or Sámi, for instance. However, the choices have social and political limits, and some identifications are more contested than others. The book examines the processes of identifications in the middle parts of Lapland, just south of the region defined as Sámi homeland in Finland. While the study reveals differences and nuances in people’s thinking, it also shows that there is a recognizable sense of shared cultural specifity around the region. Lapland is conceptualized as an extraordinary place with unusual nature and history, characterized by particular livelihoods (such as reindeer herding) and lively cultural interaction. The book concludes that while Lapland is extraordinary as a historical dwelling region of indigenous Sámi, it may be politically significant to recognize it as a unique borderland of cultures with features of its own.
